Synopsis "Polemic and Pastoral: Writing the Countryside"

This collection of translated excerpts, together with a commentary on them, examines the changing attitudes of Russian writers towards the countryside of western and central Russia, from the pastoral descriptions by Turgenev and Tolstoi to the more polemical texts of Leonov and other twentieth century authors. Some of the writers will be well known to Western readers, others less so, but well deserving of attention. In an age where ecological issues are very much to the fore it is valuable to look back and see to whay extent modern Russian attitudes may have been formed by texts of the kind presented.
